I had a good night of (cannabis assisted) sleep, not waking until just after 6am, and then snoozing until the alarm went off at 7am. I resist the temptation to leap out of bed until almost 7.30am, and then get dressed and go downstairs to give the dog her breakfast and make the tea/coffee.
I’m still struggling to motivate myself, so I write myself a list of tasks to do today. I could do with driving over to Wayford Bridge to check on the boat – the engine needs running for while to charge the batteries, and I need to pick up the linseed oil to use on the kitchen worktops at home, which are starting to look a little dried out. I also want to make some more progress on my “DBS on/DBS off” video, so I plan to do some work on that this afternoon.
I do some more online research on baths – I want to ensure that the bath I buy to replace our cast iron monstrosity is of a decent quality, and find one that has a 10 year manufacturer warranty for little more than the one that I found the other night (which only has a 1 year warranty!).
I pay my (overdue) water bill.
I send an email to the DBS team at the NHNN, requesting an appointment for re-programming my device on 10th March, when I’m planning on being in London to attend one of Karl Sterling‘s Parkinson’s Regeneration Training workshops.
I walk the dog (twice), and that’s about it for today… I don’t drive to check on my boat, and I don’t make any progress with my video.
I’m feeling a little stressed today (probably because I’m frustrated at my lack of motivation) and tremor in my left leg is bothering me, so I decide to take a dose of Charlotte’s Web Everyday Plus CBD oil – I have several small sample bottles that the Polish Medical Marijuana site sent me to test. After about an hour, I’m feeling relaxed (or, at least, a little less uptight). After two hours, I could quite easily go to sleep on the sofa – I’m fighting to keep my eyes open. I’ll try taking some more tomorrow to see if it has the same effect – and then I’ll have to make a review video for my YouTube channel!
How much cbd oil do you take
Hi Susie
I took 40 drops of the Charlotte’s Web Everyday Plus CBD oil, but dosage varies from oil to oil. I know that some people who use the CBDBrothers oils just take 3 or 4 drops, so be careful!
Cheers,

Ian,
Thank you for doing your Vlog. What good day that was for me when I stumbled upon it on Youtube.
I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask.
Are you still taking mannitol? If so, is it effective?
What is your morning nutriblast recipe.
What is your daily dosage of CBD oil and cannabis? and at what ratio?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts

Hi Mark
Thanks for your kind comment – I’m glad that you are enjoying my vlogs.
I only just started taking Mannitol a week ago, because I have been wanting to record my current symptoms, and a lack of motivation was getting in the way of that! I would not expect to notice any effect for at least 3 months – as soon as (or if) I do, you can be assured that I’ll be blogging about it.
The Nutriblast recipe can vary a little depending upon what fruit we have in the house, but generally speaking it consists of about a cup of curly kale, a cup of spinach, half a banana, half an apple, half an orange, half a kiwi fruit, a teaspoon of chia seeds, a teaspoon of milled linseed, three brazil nuts (or walnuts or almonds), half a pint of milk kefir. Sometimes my wife will substitute mango/sharon fruit/melon for one of the other fruits.
I don’t take CBD oil on a daily basis – in fact I only take it for the purposes of reviewing its effects. If I need something to supplement my DBS then I vape a little cannabis – usually in the evening, just before I go to bed.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Ian
